July 2022 Horoscope: Libra
Hold off a little longer on those vacation plans, Libra. The Sun is making its annual sojourn through Cancer and your ambitious tenth house until July 22, keeping your mind focused on lofty long-term goals. We know better than to stop a Libra from summer socializing—but during Cancer season, combine business with pleasure. Turn that July Fourth barbecue into a networking opportunity. If you do travel, chat up your seat-mate flipping through the Harvard Business Review. Surround yourself with well-connected people, mentors and VIPs from your industry. This month, it truly IS about who you know!
With lucky Jupiter circulating through Aries and your partnership sector since May 10, dynamic duos can be wildly abundant for the next few months. But DO try to sign the contracts and seal your deals before July 28. That’s when Jupiter starts its annual retrograde (backward) spin, which could give you second thoughts about a fast-moving relationship. That’s true on a personal level too, Libra—and even if you’re contentedly partnered, you may not have as much time to focus on the object of your affections while Jupiter’s in repose.
Before you start worrying, know this: The slow-moving outer planets, which span from Jupiter to Pluto, turn retrograde for four to five months every year. Saturn, Neptune and Pluto are already in this stopped-down state for the summer. So it’s not that anything bad will happen; more like a period to review and reflect. Libra, your thoughtful sign appreciates the chance to adopt a less frantic pace and mull things over from every angle. See the silver lining there?
Leaning on friends and teammates is also advised—and could be pretty fun once Leo season begins on July 22. With the Sun leaving your serious tenth house and moving into your social eleventh, you’ve got a month of exciting collaborations ahead. Your social life also gets a boost. (Yes, you CAN take a break from working the room at every party and light off the dance floor instead.) The Leo new moon on July 28 is a great kickoff for any group endeavor. And if you’re thinking of visiting loved ones or taking a personal day? Circle the July 13 Capricorn full supermoon, which sends its once-a-year beams into your home and family zone—a decidedly OOO moment.
July 2022: Monthly Horoscope Overview
It might be summer, but July is no vacation. June gave us a much needed reprieve from the tumult of the last few years, but the astrology of July puts us right back in the ring for another round. That said, though there is a fair share of frustration and difficulty this month, there are also some dreamy and romantic moments to keep us going through the hard times.
Mars and Mercury both change signs on the 5th, setting things up to immediately feel very different than how they did last month. Mars leaves bold Aries for stubborn Taurus while Mercury leaves chatty Gemini to join the sun in sensitive Cancer. Under these influences, our communications become more nuanced and intuitive while our actions slow down. Mars in Taurus only puts energy into what’s absolutely necessary. Try not to push too hard against something unwilling to budge.
